Farthing

We have been offering for sale the Queen Victoria 1890 Farthing Brilliant Uncirculated for £45.00, even though the current catalogue price is £90.00. Well, we just bought the rest of the hoard. They are Brilliant Uncirculated but because of the way that they have been stored, there are more spots on them. The coins have never circulated but they are not as nice as the ones we have been selling. So we decided to call these coins 2nd grade Brilliant Uncirculated and reduce the price further. At this price it would be very hard to find any similar coin at anything near our price. Supplies are very limited.

In 1921 George V was our Monarch and he had celebrated the 10th anniversary of his Coronation (1911-1921). The smallest and most used coin of this year was the bronze Farthing. You have the bare head of King George V facing left on the obverse and the reverse has the seated figure of Britannia. For some reason the 1921 in high grades is most difficult to get. After all it is almost 100 years old. Available here in Brilliant Uncirculated. It has been a long time since we have seen such nice examples of this scarce date of Farthings. Treat yourself; after all you deserve it…

Queen Victoria’s long reign ended in January 1901. So that the 1901 Penny, Halfpenny and Farthing are the last bronze coins made with her portrait. I have bought a small group of 1901 Farthings, but these Farthings are mint darkened at the Royal Mint before they were released. A great tribute to a great Queen and the condition is so nice. Offered here in Choice Uncirculated.
